Giants manager Bruce Bochy won the first replay challenge overturn in World Series history in the bottom of the third inning of this World Series Game 7 at Kauffman Stadium when video showed Eric Hosmer failed to beat the throw to first base on a beautiful doubleplay turned by San Francisco middle infielders Joe Panik and Brandon Crawford. Hosmer slid into the first base bag — which physics have proven to be a terrible move — and the ball reached Brandon Belt’s glove before Hosmer’s hand made it in. The play was started by Panik, who made a diving grab and then flipped the ball to Crawford while still on his belly to get the speedy Lorenzo Cain.

The review took two minutes and 57 seconds. Might as well be as thorough as possible in Game 7.

The Astros have made a contract offer of one year with an option to free agent pitcher Charlie Morton, Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY Sports reports. The amount of the contract offer is not known, but would likely be less than the $17.9 million qualifying offer the Astros failed to make to him.

Morton, 35, had the best season of his career in 2018, going 15-3 with a 3.13 ERA and a 201/64 K/BB ratio in 167 innings. It is likely the peak in what has been a late-career reinvention that started at the end of his tenure in Pittsburgh, persisted through an injury-shortened stint with the Phillies, and continued over the last two years with the Astros. Morton’s delivery, which famously mimics that of the late Roy Halladay, has seen his strikeout rate rise from middling to elite rates while his fastball velocity climbed from the low-90’s to the mid-90’s.

Despite Morton’s reinvention, he is likely going to have to settle for short-term deals due to his age and durability issues. 2018 was the first time in his career he crossed the 30-start threshold.
